I like these particular essential oils because their benefits cross over into multiple other uses too.

The main ways I have used them are through a vaporiser, a spritz or inhalation.

Vaporising: Fill your vaporiser with water to the level indicated. Add the recommended essential oil drops to the water and light the candle at the base. Or you can use an electronic vaporiser.

Spritz: Fill a spritz bottle with about 100mL of water. Add 2 to 3 drops of essential oils, shake well and spritz into the surrounding air. Keep away from eyes. Normally this solution would last around 1 week

Inhalation: Add around 2/ 3 drops of essential oils into a bowl of hot steamy water. Place a towel over your head and inhale deeply for 10 minutes.

I’d love to hear how you use essential oils, and what your favourites are. Please comment and share below.
